jason isbell and the 400 unit - decoration day - live lyrics
it’s decoration day
and i’ve a mind to roll a stone on his grave
but what would he say
he’d say…
“keeping me down, boy, won’t keep you away”
it’s decoration day
and i knew the hill boys that put ‘im away
but my daddy wasn’t afraid
said “we’d fight till the last lawson’s last living day”
well i never knew how it all got started
a problem with holland before we were born
and i don’t know the name of the boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldn’t walk anymore
but i know the caliber in daddy’s chest
i know what holland hill drives
the state let him go, so i guess it was best
’cause n0body needs all us lawsons alive
my daddy said one of the boys had come by
lumber man’s favorite son
said, “beat him real good but don’t dare let him die
and if you see holland hill run
well i said, “they ain’t give us trouble before
we ain’t brought down on ourselves”
but a chain on my back, my ear to the floor
and i’ll send all the hill boys to h-ll
i’ll send all the hill boys to h-ll
it’s decoration day
and i got family in mobile bay
and they ain’t never seen my daddy’s grave
but that don’t bother me, it ain’t marked anyway
cause i got dead brothers in lauderdale south
and i got dead brothers in east tennessee
my daddy got shot right in front of his house
he had no one to fall on but me
it’s decoration day
and i’ve a mind to go spit on his grave
if i’d been a hill, i’d have put him away
and i’d fight till the last lawson’s last living day
i’d fight till the last lawson’s last living day
i’d fight till the last lawson’s last living day
